Mermaid's jewerly...

Here is the gorgeous display The Studio of Duxbury created for my jewelry. I love how it looks like a mermaid's dressing table. I wonder what she'll chose to wear?

Gifts from the sea...

New silver charms fresh out of the kiln.

My new potato family and email signature ...

Dale Wayne — Wed, 15 May 2013 19:17:59 +0000

Is this a sweet potato family or what? I bought a big box of sweet potatoes at Costco and I don't want to eat them, especially not now. They started sprouting so I put them in some random drinking glasses and a theme emerged. I'm wondering why the dad is yelling. I think it might be because of what his youngest daughter did to her face. Is that a handbag the mom is hiding behind her back?

How do you like my new signature? I met with my upline Miche rep and am so excited. As an art teacher I remember feeling like ET until I went to an art teacher's conference. I had a similar feeling, it's just that the Miche folks are obsessed with PURSES! It brought to mind a time with Natalie was 5 or 6 and I was on a purse shopping binge (before my beloved Miche) and she said "Here, Mommy, here's another purse for your purse collection."

Make and take purse charm for your guests....

I'm representing Miche bags, the purse with the changeable covers. I'm going to offer a creative, free, make-it-take-it purse charm activity to my guests. Fun, right? If you are interested in hosting a party contact me. Would love to help you get free products while having some fun with your friends.

Another place to see Dale Wayne...

I'm tickled to have a selection of my jewelry available at Etoile Boutique in Orlando's Milk District. I spent a fun afternoon helping Falon, (whose vintage specs I'm obsessed with beyond covetting), rearrange the front cabinet where we draped necklaces on big white H-o-l-ly-w-o-o-d style letters that spell 'Etoile.' You can see the Heirloom Rose and Flaming Red necklace, and the Natural History Museum earrings there, as well as some beautiful pieces that aren't on my website. Falon says she fills the place with items she is passionate about and I am honored my work is among them.

Etoile feels like stepping into my Natural History Museum necklace. I lost all sense of time being immersed in vintage groovy dresses, scented handmade soy candles, beautiful terrarium jars, and a Lassie lunchbox. So stop by, step back in time, and tell them I sent you!Like Etoile on Facebook!

Etoile's 2 goals: 1 is to promote local, handmade and under-the radar designers and artists and 2 is to encourage the recycled, re-purposed and vintage goods over mainstream mass production.

Men in ships...

There is a wonderful passage from the Psalms that is inscribed on the Fisherman's Memorial Statue in Gloucester Massachusetts. Susan Meyer did this gorgeous hand-painted version on her penworked porcelain.

"They that go down to the sea in ships,
That do business in great waters;
These see the works of the Lord,
And his wonders in the deep."
